SHOP NOWJoin Clint live from SHOT Show 2024 at the Venetian Theater as he preps to host the Gundies red carpet, chats with viewers, and shares first impressions of new pistols, PCCs, lever guns, optics, suppressors, and other standout gear from Industry Day at the Range.
The stream opens live from SHOT Show 2024 at the Venetian Theater, where Clint is preparing to host the Gundies award ceremony. He explains that the Gundies recognize pro-2A content creators, manufacturers, organizations, and individuals that viewers have voted for. The event includes a red carpet segment hosted by Clint, Ka, and Jason, scheduled to start shortly. Clint notes that this will be a short live session because of hosting duties but wants to check in with viewers on Monday night from SHOT Show. He invites comments on what people want covered during the week and emphasizes that the ceremony will be recorded and released later rather than streamed live.
Clint describes attending Industry Day at the Range, where he shot new offerings from Daniel Defense, including a pistol and a pistol-caliber carbine. He clarifies that the new pistol is not just a copy of the Hudson H9, saying Daniel Defense overhauled the concept and that he has been testing one under NDA for a couple of weeks. He characterizes it as a well-executed, different approach to entering the pistol market. The Daniel Defense pistol-caliber carbine soft launch stands out to him, initially appearing like another direct-blowback AR9. He notes it uses a hydraulic buffer system, has fully ambidextrous controls, and feeds from CZ Scorpion magazines with a button-style magazine release instead of a paddle, which he appreciates.
As comments roll in, Clint asks what viewers are most excited to see at SHOT Show. He mentions Stag’s new lever gun and says there is a lot of fresh product dropping, so he is pretty excited. He shows off his outfit details, including revolver cufflinks with spinning cylinders that his fiancée gave him, and mentions an AK-47 tie bar he chose not to wear with the bow tie because the bow tie felt more appropriate for the Venetian Theater. He reiterates that he only has a few minutes before he and his co-hosts need to start the red carpet for the Gundies and encourages viewers to keep commenting about what new Daniel Defense guns and other releases they want the team to cover during the week.
Clint highlights several optics and sighting systems drawing attention at SHOT Show. He says Holosun is releasing new optics and appears to be making significant moves this year, including a thermal red dot concept for everyday carry developed with K-Tech, which he finds appealing even if not especially practical. Viewers ask about Holosun’s full-power laser and new gun sights, which he is interested in seeing. He notes ongoing anticipation for the EOTech OGL, which he handled at the previous SHOT Show and mounted on a Daniel Defense M4A1 with an M203, but is still waiting for it to be released. A viewer from Israel asks about developments in the Israeli sector and new smart optics, and Clint says he will look into that on the show floor.
The conversation turns to various rifle platforms and roller-delayed systems. A viewer mentions the CZ 805, HK33, and SIG Sauer MCX Spear, which Clint acknowledges as solid choices. Someone asks about Century Arms and new roller-lock rifles; Clint says he saw Adam from Century at the Circle Bar with Brandon Herrera, Kyle Rittenhouse, and others, and plans to ask him about any upcoming roller-delayed releases. Another viewer requests that HK bring in an HK243 G36-style clone, noting frustration with limited import options. Clint also references interest in the new Smith & Wesson lever gun and reiterates that Stag has released a lever gun as well, adding them to his list of products to check out during the show.
Clint mentions that Flux has introduced a new side-folding setup for the Flux Raider with an instant-deploy design, which the team saw at range day and found interesting. He then describes briefly shooting what he believes is the only flow-through 12-gauge suppressor he knows of, mounted on a Genesis 12. He notes that running the Genesis 12 with the flow-through shotgun suppressor was impressive and memorable from his time at the range. He also references CoolFire’s upcoming AR-15 recoil kit, which he discussed with a friend named Boon and wants to evaluate further. Throughout, he keeps the focus on hands-on impressions and curiosity about how these systems perform rather than making broad claims.
Clint talks about the intensity of SHOT Show week, calling it the craziest week of the year and explaining why it is often referred to as a “show” in less-than-polite terms. He confirms that the Gundies will not be live-streamed; instead, the ceremony will be recorded and released on CarbonTV at 9 p.m. Eastern the following day, with wider availability afterward. Viewers ask how to attend SHOT Show, and he notes that it is not simply a matter of paying to get in, as access is controlled. He jokes about the open bar at the Gundies, confirming that drinks are free and referring to his “apple juice” as Johnny Walker Black Label. He also comments on carrying at the venue, noting it is effectively a gun-free zone for the event.
As the stream winds down, Clint reminds viewers he only has a few minutes left before heading to the red carpet. He acknowledges super chats and thanks supporters, including a regular viewer named Tanner who asks about coming to SHOT Show. Clint reiterates that SHOT is hectic but memorable. He mentions being a Marine reservist in response to a question and jokes about weight comments. He notes that Glock is rumored to be releasing something new that is not an AR-15 and that Canik is collaborating with Taran Tactical Innovations on the next Combat Master pistol, which may appear in a future John Wick film. Near the end, Ka, Jason, and Ryan step into frame, greet the audience, and help close out the live session as Clint prepares to head to hosting duties.
